How far apart should holes be drilled for a rodding termite treatment?

For a rodding termite treatment, holes should be drilled 12 inches apart. This spacing is optimal because it allows for effective distribution of the treatment solution around the foundation or infested areas. When the holes are placed too far apart, there could be gaps in treatment coverage, which may allow termites to remain unexposed to the insecticidal properties of the solution. By drilling holes at this recommended distance, a technician can ensure that the treatment penetrates effectively into the soil, creating a thorough chemical barrier to protect the structure from further termite activity. This standard is grounded in the principles of pest control, where effective treatment requires adequate placement to achieve desired results in managing pest populations.
